Standards Informed by Research

The International Governance Standards Board (IGSB) is an independent standards-setting body responsible for the development, publication, and stewardship of the G-Series Governance Standards.

IGSB establishes globally applicable governance principles, assessment criteria, and certification frameworks to support effective oversight, accountability, and responsible decision-making across boards, institutions, and AI-enabled systems.
